Small expensive doesn't last very long!
These are almost worthless they're so small. The last one we bought clogged up after only a month reducing it to a trickle and our water is not that bad. No hard-water deposits or anything and the water reports we receive from our water utility indicate that our drinking water has no unusual levels of particulate or other contaminants. That said I'm trying to have much better than usual water quality for our health but this product isn't really helping. I think the faucet was cheap so that we'd have to buy lots of filters to put in the "integrated" water filtration system. It's clever marketing like the printer companies designed to make loads of $$ off the filters once you're locked into the product.

Nice for me but not for all
Recently remodeled a bathroom and went with this American Standard Right Height Elongated model in BONE from a local plumbing supplier. After installing it DIY I had a small leak that was very perplexing as I figured it was from either the supply line bolt holes between tank and bowl or the main gasket. After disassembling and reassembling the leak persisted. Was only able to speculate that there was a flaw in the tank. Contacted supplier and they swapped the tank without a hassle other than having to drive an hour roundtrip to return it.
New tank works perfect and no leaks and flush mechanism functions as promised thou I have not attempted to flush a bucket of golf balls. :)
I'm 6'1" with 34" inseem and I wanted the taller toilet as I hate feeling like I'm sitting so low. The RH is great for me and I figured the extra 1.8" height wouldn't be a big deal for the family (wife is 5'7" and my 4yr old) but apparently the girls really dislike "how tall" this potty is. Oh well...there are two other standard height models in the house for them!! Just thought I'd mention that this is a nice product but the RH is not for all.

Back to basics
This shower head was recommended in a leading consumer magazine. It is everything they say it is and a refreshing change from the hyperactive - does everything shower heads now on the market. We were using a water conserving shower head in the master bath room and it was dreadful. For the last few years I thought it was our water pressure but now find we were putting up with it in the name of conservation only. With the Easy Clean we can enjoy a normal shower head flow. Wow what a wonderful change. Thank you American Standard and Amazon I couldn't find this locally..
I ordered this one day and it was delivered the next. How amazing is that? I ordered another one.

The greatest source of joy in my life!I've been going through a lot of toilet seats (and a few toilets) recently and it's taken a load off my mind finding this source of excellent and colorful toilet seats. I like to play Scrabble or Sudoku while I do my business and sometimes I get all carried away and end up spending a few hours on my canary yellow throne. I need the seat to be comfortable and able to support my formidable girth. American Standard Elongated Toilet Seat is one of the most comfortable that I've found and with so many colors to choose from I'll probably stick with the American Standard for the rest of my life at least until they invent a Lazy Boy recliner toilet.
I rate this toilet seat 5 brown lumps of awesomeness.
Huzzah!

nearly no differenceI first saw the flowise in a TV documentary about energy consumption and things alike. After trying a few of the lo-flow showerheads in my house (mostly because my wife likes the water really hot - and she would run out of hot water before the end of her shower) we were making do with them (we have 3 full bathrooms) - they weren't bad but they weren't good either. FloWise is definitively a step up. Even in the "mix mode" it is still 2gpm which is great. But the savings mode is good enough for a pleasure shower - and we now have enough left over hot water so I can shower right after her if I want to - impossible to do before. I love the fact that once you turn the mix mode on (2gpm) it will automatically revert to 1.5gpm after you turn off the water - which is great because she showers on 1.5 I shower on 2.0 (I use half the hot water she uses) - we would definitively forget to put it back and she would probably end up with "warm water" at the end of her shower...
